Entropy is a tricky subject. It measures something, but what it measures is sometimes not quite clear. It's also not very clear how and when the linux kernel gathers entropy and how it uses it.
This talk is aimed at clearing up some of the ambiguities around entropy and explaining how things work internally. Additionally, we attempt to gauge how entropy is measured.
I've posted my slides from LinuxFest 2018.
I had a great tie at LinuxFest 2018. Thanks to all the organizers for putting together such a well-run conference. Thanks!
